On this page I will show you how to properly reset the GreenPacket DT-235 router back to it's original factory settings. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you simply cycle the power to the unit. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return them all to how they were from the factory.

Warning: This reset is a big step and should only be done after other attempts to solve the problem have failed. We suggest making a list of the settings you may of changed. Some possibilities are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The wireless information such as SSID and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password to continue to use the Internet. Call your ISP for the details.
  • Have you made other changes to your device? How about forwarded ports or IP address changes?

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN faster than ever deal!

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

The first step is to locate the reset button/pinhole. This is typically found on the back or side panel of the router. See the image below for a typical placement.

This is the reset page from your Green Packet DT-235 router.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for long enough you might end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Please remember this reset is erasing every single personal settings you have ever changed on this device. We strongly suggest trying other methods of fixing your problem before you reset.

Login to the Green Packet DT-235

After you've reset the GreenPacket DT-235 router you'll need to log into it. Do this by using the factory default username and password. Not sure where to find these? We have them provided for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: If the defaults aren't logging you in it might be because the rest button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Once you've logged into the your router we suggest setting a new password for it. Bear in mind that this password will only protect your router settings, not your wireless network. Still, setting a strong password is always a good choice. For help in doing so be sure to visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Keep from losing your new password by writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the bottom of your router.
